asked the Minister of Labour the number of aliens, giving the country of origin and type of employment, that have been allowed to enter this country to take up employment during the present year?
As the reply includes detailed statistical tables, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, have the information circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
Can the right hon. Gentleman give the totals?
In view of the way some of the tables are set out, it would be rather misleading.
Following is the reply:
